The Skotos game library played an important role in the development of
DGD, by steering it towards becoming a rock-solid platform for games at
least an order of magnitude larger and more complex than what it had
previously been used for.  It was also an early testing ground for new
features such as atomic functions.  I am pleased to see an Open Source
release, or even a pre-release.
